Holiday Shoot

Hello lovelies! It's been a wonderfully long day for me here in Charlotte. This morning I did a shoot for a wonderful family we are friends with. They wanted some candid fun shots in their hip-cute modern home for the holidays & I had a great time doing so! My great friend Benjamin Joyner a fantastic filmmaker/musician (here) let me borrow his Canon 7d for the morning, it made shooting even more enjoyable and easy. So cred to him! 

Here's a peek at this great couple & their adorable kids...

Aren't they just so photogenic! I love it...

Afterwards i spent the afternoon lounging at Starbucks drinking a grande Chai tea latte, eating a warm cheese danish (mm), listening to my favorite pandora stations and editing photographs from the day. It was a lovely three hours spent. There's something about just getting out of the house! Editing/sorting is so time consuming so it was good to get a fresh perspective, outside of my bedroom, desk or kitchen. I'm pleased with how they came out!

On another note, but definitely still holiday photograph related, my lovely sister of The Terrific Four blog, came over to the house today, and we took these cute holiday photos of her & the kids. Being an aunt is the best, might I add! 

What sweet boys I have in the family! 

Well besides buying some running shoes tonight, that was my busy day in a nutshell! An even busier day tomorrow, and another great photoshoot coming up, as well as work, and a work out session! Thanks for checking in lovelies... goodnight 

as always,

happy holidays,

xoxo

Autumn Approaches- a photoshoot

This afternoon was perhaps a perfect early Autumn day in my home, Charlotte. You know those days where the outdoors actually smell like the approaching winter? Well today i refused to stay indoors and take full advantage of a day off work! My dear friend Shelby is just a joy to be around! She is beautiful, as you can see, and was the perfect friend to spend these few hours with. We drove around trying to find an ideal spot for pictures (the sun was already starting to set, and lighting is everything!) Near where we both live is the local peach stand, during the summer they serve fresh homemade peach ice cream (perfect!), so we parked and walked a bit to this spot, where the peach trees are now barren and make for the perfect setting for a late afternoon photoshoot. It was apparently a really popular spot for joggers! I'm sure we were an odd sight. This is her senior year of high school, and i wanted to capture details about her during this time in her life. It was quite fun, enjoy! If you wish to see the rest, request and more will be added!
